Ok. I posted twice so something happend Mod erased one of them. Anyway.

I am interested in buying new brake pads.

I've found Axxis MM brake pads for $110.

Are these good?

I'm looking for something that stops quik, not much brake dust, quiet.

Any sites where I can find good prices?

Thanks

There is a group buys for rotors and brake pads at
w w w . a c u r a w o r l d . c o m (minus spaces). I ordered the front rotors and Axxis ultimate pads for my TLS. Check with the organizer to see if the group buy is still on.

Hope this helps.


Cheers !!!

green stuff are much better than the axis pads. my buddy switched to the axis on his maxima and is already going to switch back to the green stuff after like only a month of driving. the axis cant take heat as good and get spungy quick

Thumbs up

Based on feedback in past articles, I put in the Wagner Thermoquiet pads (front and back) a month ago.

The near-term results have been excellent! Thank you to those who contributed.

The pads:
> Stop the car with less pedal pressure and quicker than stock Acura
> Very quiet
> Little brake dust
> Cooler rotors
> inexpensive <$100

These are pads are rated "organic" and non-metallic. Therefore, the pads may wear faster than stock. Time will tell.

Note most of my driving is in the city and I drive south of fast and furious :-)
